&#x22;That&#x2019;s it! Let's go to Kyoto&#x22;&#x3000;&#x3000;I was invited by the Japan Railway Tokai Campaign and Ihave been taking pictures maiko in Gion area for about 15years since I visited Kyoto every season.&#x3000;The beginning was because I was rather attracted by theprocess leading to it and the casual works and behaviors ofMaiko&#x2019;s daily life, than the perfect appearance in the stage andOzashiki.&#x3000;To feel the beauty in shape, sound, scent, emotion is a greatpleasure in life (E &#xb7; A &#xb7; Poe &#x22;The Poetic Principle&#x22;). Beautifulmaiko wearing and realizing those aesthetic elements throughhard training and practice is a longing admirer who isfascinated by both men and women, and it is said to be a partof Japanese entertainment culture and to succeed it Is not it?
